According to some traders, bitcoin’s mining costs saw it bottom out at the $6,000 mark as its months-long bearish trend supposedly came to an end. An analyst now argues it’s only a “matter of time” before the flagship cryptocurrency dips below said mark.

Through a blog post spotted by MarketWatch, Ziedins of CrackedMarket noted that while BTC has seen the $6,000 mark represent a firm support it bounced off of numerous times in the past six months, every time it bounced it achieved a lower high.

Analysts usually see an asset in a bearish or at least neutral trend if it fails to achieve higher highs after bouncing off support levels. Ziedins stated:

First, we bounced to $17k. Then it was $12k. $10k came next. After that $8.5k. Earlier this month it was $7.5k and this weekend we stalled $6.8k. At this point, it is only a matter of time before we tumble under $6k support.

Bitcoin has been dropping since mid-December, after it hit an all-time high of nearly $20,000. This, despite numerous positive developments, which include the owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), launching a “global platform and ecosystem for digital assets” called Bakkt.

At press time, according to CryptoCompare data, bitcoin is trading at $6,450 after gaining 0.03% in the last 24-hour period. In the last 12 months, it’s still up by 65%.

Most other cryptocurrencies have also been struggling. The XRP token has lost 2% of its value in the last 24 hours and is trading at $0.51, while Ethereum’s ether slipped 0.3% to $211. A few altcoins like EOS and LTC are marginally up.

While most cryptocurrencies are down so far this year, Wall Street analyst and bitcoin bull Tom Lee has earlier this month revealed he created an “altcoin correction index” that was at an all-time high. Per Lee, the last time it hit a new high, altcoins enjoyed a 7-week bull run.
